It has everything that a gym novel should have, the protagonist is not a wimp who is afraid of changing the story and makes the worst choices (I won't name names) The secondary characters have their charm (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠) As the story is not over yet, the review is neither long nor detailed.

You will either drop it this the moment he starts sobbing like a baby or you'll trudge through to realize the MC just wants to be an Extra. Slight Spoilers of course. Leo/Azazel/whatever he prefers, our MC is an okay guy. He's not exactly the most dependable dude out there. He's just a guy who wants to do what he wants and wants to find something he can find truly interesting. There's nothing wrong with that obviously. The only thing that bugs me though is as a reader who reads from that perspective things can feel a bit dull at times. We know this is an Extra type of character based on the novel's name. What we should be aware is this isn't one of those Extra type of MCs who breaks out of being an Extra and grows into a full fledged character who stands in the spotlight while using some knowledge he has to push himself to greater heights. Okay maybe a bit but not to what you'd expect. Nope not at all. What we got is a guy who pretty much has probably one of the greatest talents in the world for almost anything he sets his mind on but doesn't really try cause A. He's too good it gets boring to fast and B He just prefers to be sidelined. If I wanted to be nice about it I'd call this type of MC a coward and trust me I'm trying to be nice with that term. Now after reading up to the current number of chapters it's dawned on me that it seems set to go in this direction for his mindset, just trying to be an extra. You'll notice hints throughout. Him not wanting to be #1, not trying to really fight, or just him outright stating it. His mindset isn't wrong honestly. What's the problem is he's too damn weak for his conviction to even matter. Should've been obvious the moment he almost got smacked by a titanic mind reader to I don't know... train? You would've thought knowing some imminent threat would make the MC try to train but honestly there's been only one dedicated training scene and him chickening out cause of his family glaring at him. It's quite obvious the only reason he kept up against everyone else was him being an Intermediate rank 3rd Mana Core at the start and his slight knowledge. Also I should mention the weak to strong tag is 100% accurate. He's pretty weak not pathetic but slightly above average at best. Everyone else just thinks he's overpowered which he isn't. And don't expect him to be either. Score: 7 out of 10. Give it a try. Personal Score: 6 out of 10 Not a fan of this type of main character personally. Maybe someone else will enjoy these type of MCs who like being an actual Extra. I will say the side characters are probably the reason I got this far. Solomon, Jasmine and even the actual protagonist is fun and or interesting. The MC? Kind of a downer but I feel it was written that way on purpose. Again not for me personally. I hope that doesn't offend.

The resplendent narrative titled "Path of the Extra" by Crypthh, unfurls a magnum opus that ventures into the territory of family and loss with unparalleled finesse and masterful storytelling. This digital tome is a veritable work woven with threads of profound philosophy, brilliant prose and a narrative flexibility that defies the conventional confines of contemporary literature. The story follows a protagonist, orphaned in one life, prince in another, as he embarks on a peregrination of improvement and self-discovery that is no different from what we see in mythologies and legends of old. Like other works of the genre, the narrative explores the protagonist's life as an 'extra', a metaphysical representation of the human nature pertaining to the character's lack of presence in the stage of life. Each and every word of this magisterial work is inculcated with vocabulary and verbiage that is both grandiloquent and mellifluous. The author manages to encapsulate the readers by delineating the odyssey portrayed in the novel with a lexical panache that is as invigorating as it is erudite. The author’s unparalleled ability to conjure vivid imagery and evoke profound emotional resonance is reminiscent of the literary titans of yore. Each character, regardless of the importance they pose to the plot, is meticulously etched with their own inner turmoils and nigh-tangible verisimilitude. My serendipitous encounter with this novel has been a scintillating experience that has brought joy to my once bleak life. POTE, is without a doubt, a tour de force that is destined to ascend to the pantheon of literary immortality. This is not merely a novel; it is an intellectual sojourn, an ethereal voyage that will leave an indelible imprint upon the reader’s psyche. In summation, Crypthh has bestowed upon the literary world a quintessential masterpiece, a story like no other, a masterpiece that will etch itself onto the ever-flowing river of history and will undoubtedly be revered by cognoscenti and literati alike. No novel can compare to this work veritable symphony of words that exalts the sublime potential of the written word.

A place where the laws of reality vanish, and the true ceiling of power shifts completely. Naturally, the shockwave Divinity Online created across the entire globe was unlike anything else. Every single person has heard of it, even those who have had no interest in video games before. Giant corporations and even governments immediately rushed to start planning to invest in this new world and just like that, billions of people had their eyes on one single date: the 19th of July. *** Arthur, like everyone else, had heard of the game and was as excited as everyone else to try it, if not even more. With how much he grew bored of his life on earth, this fantasy world was like the divine call he had been searching for. However, there was a very small problem. He had no money to buy the machine required to access Divinity Online. His wretched life had turned him into a broke teenager with no parents, and no relatives. But, by some kind of luck, he got his hands on one of those machines. Not knowing what was awaiting him in that world, Arthur was simply seeking one thing... A new opportunity in life and to find a purpose he could work for when he had none so far. [Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.] [Assimilation Started...]
